Actually, I would love the ability to have my site offline synched easily to my site online. There aren't a lot of hotspots in my town, especially at the places that have kiddie stuff to keep my son entertained. I made a local copy of my site, but it's a PITA to keep it updated so I usually don't bother. Something like what has been talked about here would be awesome. Not something I'm in a position to help create, though, so it's just a wish on my part. Michelle On 5/31/2007 7:16:58 AM, Robin Monks (robin@civicspacelabs.org) wrote:
The weird thing is, with the dawn of cheap broadband, and wifi-covered cities, planes, trains and buses, noone is actually offline to enjoy this now.

well, one possibility is php gtk, see http://gtk.php.net/ (there is a data persistence layer in gears) But I
wasn't speaking only of using Gears itself, but rather of the
paradigm shift to rich clients, with offline support. On the one hand stuff like Apollo, on the other ... if we have Drupal on a stick, we can have Drupal on a rich client. The paradigm shift of web apps recycled as rich client apps can be seen on many fronts, for example in the world of light, agile J2EE, the Spring Framework has the Rich Client sub-project (see http://www.springframework.org/spring-rcp).
